Nicolò Palma (* 1694 in Trapani , † 1779 in Palermo ) was an architect between Baroque and Classicism in Sicily .
He was the nephew and student of the architect Andrea Palma from Trapani . In 1730 or 1739 he was appointed city architect by the Palermi Senate. In addition to the construction management of numerous aristocratic palaces, he was also responsible for organizing public festivals between 1750 and 1770. His main architectural work is the park of Villa Giulia , which, with its basic geometric scheme, is a typical example of classicism of the late 18th century.
